If you are looking for a new thread. Steve Fearson has just released one that can hold a full pack of cards and is nearly invisible. I am not sure if you would be able to use it in a reel. But over the last bit I would say Loops is the way to go... If your looking to do a floating rose or floating dollar bill then I would say get the ITR boss which is also a really good mini reel...
